I have finished the Dots Scarf rectangular shaped version. Like my other stoles this is consists of two parts which are grafted together. I modified the wave border - now it is horizontal so can be knitted alongside the body. I think the border chart can be used by machine and hand knitters as well.
Yarn: Barka Szitakötő 100% merino wool

.
- Dots stole is finished and waiting for its owner - it will be a present. The post about it will come later on this week.
- The "simple, sideways knitted one piece lace
scarf from 2 ply yarn" is in progress. I will use a simple tuck stitch in a column - alongside with the short row shaping. I try to simplify the pattern as far as possible...
- I am one skein shorter than finishing the bag project. The next trip to my favourite yarn store will be on Friday so I will be in a hurry to finish it for the vacation...

My original intention was to make an universal pattern which can use as a shawlette in summer and as a scarf in winter. And can be knitted as one piece of course.
The new scarf is a crossbreending of the Chain Shoulderette and a triangular scarf. Its shape is a strange narrow halfcircle which was formed one pair of short row sections (Chain Shoulderette has three pair section), divided by a short straight part.
I think it turned out nicely. The pattern is easy to follow (just for me at this moment).
If you are interested in the pattern plese leave a comment and I willingly share my notes in a later post.
Yarn: Barka Esti mese (100% Merino wool)
Colour: deep red, burgundy

- I have finished the planned little scarflette and I am absolutely satisfied with the result. I will post about it later on this week.
- The other - Dots stole - have been also knitted, I will block it this evening. I am sure that it will be dry before I will finish the blocking because here in Hungary there is a real summer heat wave.
- I would like to knit a simple, sideways knitted one piece lace scarf from 2 ply yarn. At this moment I am looking for a simple machine knitting stitch patter suitable for this project.
- And the last project - if it isn't enough - is a bag. Big-lacy-beach-shoulder bag from variegated yarn. I have unravelled it 2 times already and have to buy more yarn, but I hope to finish it this week... so it can come on holiday with us!
